UCCF has historically been committed to communicating the unchanging gospel into a rapidly changing world.
The challenges of this task can seem overwhelming — a culture that rejects the notion of truth, a society that turns its back on God, a church that seems all too willing to soft-pedal the hardest parts of the message. Yet for the thousands of students in Christian Unions around the country, communicating the gospel is an urgent task that must be done for the sake of those who know nothing of Jesus.
The conundrum for gospel communicators today is to faithfully tell the ancient good news, but to do so in a way that is winsome and relevant to a culture in which Christianity is a distant and distorted memory; to be committed to truth while engaging authentically with what Flannery O’Connor called a ‘Christ-haunted world’. Much of that world is suspicious of truth-claims, unmoved by religion and cynical about personal faith.
